According to The Aspen Times, Bloomberg claimed during a speech last week at the Aspen Institute that 95 percent of murders fall into a specific category: male, minority and between the ages of 15 and 25. "Cities need to get guns out of this groups's hands and keep them alive," he said. "This group's hands."

Bloomberg's own statement indicates that he wants to unilaterally disarm young black men including those legally allowed to own firearms.

Egregiously inappropriate and chilling when it comes from a statist billionaire with ongoing political aspirations.

A convicted felon who was the mastermind behind a violent armed robbery conspiracy was inexplicably tapped to control tens of millions of dollars in tuition and endowment funds for the nation's largest private Catholic high school.

And they don't call him "Joe Diamonds" for nothing. No, it's not the bedazzled crown (but if it was that would be awesome, and I'd have begrudging respect for him pulling that off).

He earned the title "Joe Diamonds" while spending a little under five and a half years in federal prison for conspiring to commit armed robbery of a jewelry store where he planned to hold two female employees hostage during the $250,000 heist.

Was St. Francis Preparatory School in Fresh Meadows, Queens , the nation's largest private Catholic high school, the scene one of the most massive child sexual abuse scandals and cover-ups in American academic history?

St. Francis Prep, or "Prep" as it is called, has long been considered a premier learning institution. President Ronald Reagan visited the school and presented it with an award his last year in office, only a few years after the school's football team was ranked one of the top 25 in the nation.

Those graduating from the school enjoy a global network of power broker alumni, and the contacts made over four years in one's teens benefits them throughout their life.

I should know as I myself am a 1987 graduate of St. Francis Prep..

St. Francis Preparatory School also bears another distinction, but this one is far less impressive.

It appears that for decades, St. Francis Prep has been aggressively covering up allegations of child sexual abuse, and allowing the alleged abusers to be reassigned to other teaching jobs free of prosecution or civil liability.

Earlier this week while spewing his predictably boring anti-Americanisms, far left documentary filmmaker and wealthy hypocrite Michael Moore decided to attack the record breaking box office numbers of Clint Eastwood's American Sniper by declaring Chris Kyle, and snipers in general, cowards.

In true Big and Tall progressive fashion, Moore validated his insults with the caveat that his uncle Lawrence Moore was killed in 1945 by a cowardly sniper's bullet in the Pacific theater at the close of WWII.
